Hello everyone and thank you for your time. This is a pretty long and rambling post, so I've bolded the major points to help make things a bit more digestible :) I'm married to a wonderful woman who has been suffering with chronic pain for about three years after an auto collision. Yesterday...

Hello, my name is Katie, and this is my first time on a support site for Fibromyalgia. I think I have hit the wall on talking, explaining, and generally wining about my Fibromyalgia to friends and family. They seem to just now change the subject and are not interested in hearing me anymore...

Hello everyone! I am a new member of this forum and a recently found out from my Neurologist that I have Fibromyalgia. Being 23 and hearing this news, on top of my other auto immune disorders is a little depressing. I was a very healthy, active, happy girl 5 years ago, before weird symptoms...

All the pain. The pills. The doctors appointments. The feeling like a failure because i cant complete normal, once everday, ordinary tasks. I have to rest after drying my hair. Which i can barely do. I need help to cook, or must rest or sit while doing it. Its crazy. Im only 23, i just feel...

Hi All, I'm new to the forum and so happy I found it. I'm still learning which symptoms are fibro and which are not. Seems so far like everything is connected in this HUGE web of havoc! Do any of you have bladder issues...as far as not going enough, or when you go it's almost gotta be...

In my research to help hubby with his diagnosis, I've learned a bit about celebrities or famous names that are battling fibro. The biggest name to me was Morgan Freeman - and this helped my husband a lot, as many of the support things we had seen thus far had been women-oriented. The actress...

Hello, I'm 27 and, after looking up the symptoms of fibromyalgia, I'm wondering if I may not be suffering from it. I also looked up some of the possible causes of fibro. I'll begin when the symptoms started, after I had a mRSA infection at the age of 22. The doctors surgically removed the...
